Yunmeng Immortal Clan

Throughout the snow-covered land, countless cultivators and mortal warriors have descended upon this place due to the legend of its abundance of Xuanbing flowers and other rare spiritual plants and herbs. Every year, countless people die, and the vengeful spirits that emerge from them practically fill the entire snow-covered land.

With a quick scan of his divine sense, Song Daoxuan estimated that there were about seven or eight malevolent spirits attacking the camp.

Fortunately, these vengeful spirits were all at the second or third level of the Qi Refining stage. Song Daoxuan quickly eliminated them all and then returned to the camp as if nothing had happened.

However, Song Daoxuan's move seemed to come a little too late.

The warriors in their squad were attacked by these vengeful ghosts. In less than a moment, the squad of more than ten people was reduced to only seven or eight. If Song Daoxuan hadn't intervened and killed all the evil spirits, their entire squad would probably have been wiped out in less than a quarter of an hour. The key point is that these mortals were completely helpless against the evil spirits.

Even though Song Daoxuan was a cultivator at the tenth level of the Qi Refining stage, he still had to put in a lot of effort to deal with these yin spirits and ghosts. This was because these yin spirits were yin in nature, and apart from extremely yang and powerful spells such as fire, thunder, and light, other spells were completely ineffective against them.

However, after this incident, all eight people, including Song Daoxuan, were unable to sleep and gathered around the campfire to talk about the harrowing attack on the camp by something unclean.

However, none of the remaining members of the squad had any idea how these "unclean" things left.

Meanwhile, many martial arts practitioners who climbed onto the snow-covered land at the same time are now facing similar situations to this team.

In fact, most teams are in worse shape than this one, since this team has a cultivator like Song Daoxuan lurking among them.

Song Daoxuan clearly had no interest in the safety of the mortals in this small team.

After a brief pause, the group of seven or eight resumed their search for medicinal plants.

Along the way, several more ferocious beasts attacked. Just as one of them was about to strike Song Daoxuan, Song Daoxuan intended to reveal his cultivation level.

Just then, Mu Tian, ​​the old man from the side, finally made a move. Although Mu Tian was no match for the demon, he still managed to stop it. After everyone reacted, they worked together to force the demon back.

Old Man Mu had a cut on his body. He tore off a strip of cloth from somewhere, picked some herbs on the spot, and used the cloth to make a simple bandage.

After this incident, Song Daoxuan still had a bit of goodwill towards Old Man Mu.

The eight people arrived at this place, where heavy snow was already falling overhead. The terrain was high, so ordinary demonic beasts were rare. However, if there were any demonic beasts, they were at least first-tier demonic beasts, and even second-tier demonic beasts were rarely seen.

"Team Leader Cheng, I've found a magical herb..." a team member exclaimed. Song Daoxuan looked up and saw that it was actually a decent first-tier spiritual herb, the Red Spirit Flower.

This red spirit flower seems to be the main ingredient for refining some kind of pill. The one in front of us is a mature spiritual herb of the right age. If we sell it in the cultivation market, it can be exchanged for two low-grade spirit stones.

Just as Song Daoxuan was sighing, several more members of the team picked first-tier spiritual herbs in the snowy land. However, these were all relatively common first-tier auxiliary herbs or even medicinal guides. However, these mortals did not know the true names of these herbs and simply categorized them as immortal spiritual herbs.

"Now that we've reached this truly snowy land, there are more spiritual plants and herbs. Although they haven't yet taken root everywhere, I have a feeling that as long as we continue to venture deeper, there's still hope of obtaining that second-tier spiritual plant, the Mysterious Ice Flower!" Song Daoxuan, dressed in a green robe, thought confidently.

As they moved closer to the center, the eight of them joined forces with the people from several other martial arts schools. Song Daoxuan's divine sense also detected the presence of cultivators.

However, Song Daoxuan had no intention of dealing with him. After all, whether the other party was righteous or evil, or whether he had used a method like the Turtle Breathing Technique to conceal his aura, was unknown.

At that very moment, another massive avalanche struck the entire snow-covered mountain range, nearly burying everyone in its wake.

At this moment, Song Daoxuan did not hesitate any longer. He took out a protective talisman from his storage bag. As he channeled his magic power into it, the talisman transformed into a light shield, enveloping himself and Old Man Mu beside him.

As for the rest of the team, they were soon buried in the snow, their fate unknown.

Old Man Mu thought he was doomed, but to his surprise, Song Daoxuan was actually an immortal who knew how to use Taoist magic. Protected by the light shield, Old Man Mu was speechless and his face was full of horror. He had said he would protect this person, but it turned out to be such a ridiculous statement.

"Brother Xuan, no, Immortal Xuan, thank you for protecting Old Mu!" After a long pause, Old Mu finally uttered these words of gratitude.

"It's nothing, just a small matter. It's already a great fate that we met. Here are some pills to strengthen your foundation, a top-grade first-rank medicinal herb, and a first-rank invisibility talisman containing a trace of my magic power. Whether you survive your journey down the mountain depends on yourself!" Song Daoxuan tossed these things to Old Man Mu and then quickly fled from the place.

Old Man Mu watched Song Daoxuan disappear, then looked at the object in his hand, and couldn't help but kowtow to him on the spot, his face showing joy.

Old Man Mu had done him some favors, and Song Daoxuan had already done more than enough for him.

If Old Man Mu were wise, he would have taken this herb down the mountain to the Qingyang Martial Arts School and received a very generous reward. However, if he continued to greedily and recklessly venture towards the snow-covered mountain, then it would only mean that Old Man Mu deserved to die.

Just as Song Daoxuan was about to continue forward, his divine sense suddenly detected a trace of a cultivator's aura approaching him.

Song Daoxuan concealed a second-tier attack-type talisman in his sleeve, ready to throw it at any moment.

A moment later, a composed middle-aged man with a somewhat weathered face bowed to Song Daoxian, then laughed and said:

"When the avalanche happened just now, you were using a protective talisman, right? That's why I'm sure you're not an ordinary mortal, but a cultivator."

"Fellow Daoist, my name is Hou Qian, and I am a wandering cultivator. You must have come here for the Xuanbing Flower..."

Soon, Hou Qian's cultivation level was revealed to Song Daoxuan. He was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and his aura was very stable. It seemed that reaching the tenth level of Qi Refining was only a matter of time.

Upon hearing this, Song Daoxuan feigned ignorance, saying, "What are you talking about, Fellow Daoist Hou? I know nothing about the Mysterious Ice Flower!"
